ch10: Tia spots a flower on the lake - and it calls out to here like a spell. She falls in and sees her father's ambivalent face as she begins to drown and a monster starts to pull her under. She calls him a bastard as she loses consciousness. She wakes up to see him walk away after coolly plucking her from the water. Tia is comforted by her maid. Tia is shocked and tells herself - how could she have thought it even possible to gain affection from a psycho like him? - and ultimately concludes - that she is craving chocolate. She gets out of bed and sneaks into the kitchen when...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ch11: Her maid tells her she better go outside and see - The king has assigned an army of maids and a bodyguard (Felix!) to Tia. They will start serving her from today. She is a bit depressed that she doesn't have her old maids (Hanna & Sess) - she spent so much time getting on their good side! But apparently they had already been reassigned. Felix assures her if she wants them - she will have them - so why doesn't she go ask the King? - esp since the King has asked to see her today. Tia is dreading seeing him again. Felix happily tells Tia - isn't it great that the King saved her from the lake monster (that disguises itself as a beautiful flower to enchant people into fall into the lake) - but Tia is still upset by the King's cold attitude towards her almost dying! Outside the King's room, Tia asks Felix - why aren't there any servants or guards? Felix replies that there is no need - the King is safe without them (aka King is very strong - doesn't need them). They get to the King's room and it appears the King is sleeping. Tia thinks they'll just leave - but Felix suggests that she go in and wake him - and plop in she goes. Tia looks around the room and is obviously impressed by a 100% gold painting on the wall. She also sees a portrait of Janet's mother lying on the floor instead of hung up with the other paintings. She turns around to see Claude sleeping on a couch (which she didn't expect - why isn't he on his bed?) He is deeply asleep - deeply - Tia thinks... should I hit him?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ch 12: revenge time! She lifts her arms, and is about to hit him when a rock from here sleeve (unclear to me how it got there) falls and hits the sleeping king. After a moment of panic, she quickly turns her "about to hit you" motion into a "patting you lovingly while singing a lullaby motion". He asks her what song she's singing. She replies - a song that makes bad dreams go away! She continues to act cute around him - even if plan c fails - it will only help the success of plan b! During dinner she accidentally flings her knife into the air. The king simply responses that he will send an etiquette teacher to teach her. Tia returns to her manor and goes to sleep listening to Lily's lullaby. We cut to Felix and the king talking about Tia. Felix is very positive about how cute Tia is and how much she looks like Diana. The King is fairly negative - saying he will forget Diana's face in a year's time. Felix asks - but isn't Tia lovely? The King replies - he hasn't felt that way in a long time - cut to portrait of Jane's mother. As Felix leaves, he contemplates that even if the King doesn't believe he has it in him - Felix trusts that the King is still able to care and hopes that the King will also be happy someday. >< cut to the cutest picture of Tia!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ch 13: Tia: Tia is honored to have been invited to tea time! Tia: *what do you think? aren't I cute?* She had even practiced being cute - but no visible affection from Claude - but what did she expect? It's a month after ch12 and Tia and Claude have seen each other every day for tea time. But the response from Claude is still fairly cold. Tia: I had a great dream! where you me and Lily and Felix all had a great time together! Claude: what a silly dream. But Tia doesn't back down ^^ Tia: I was really happy to be able to spend time with Daddy! As cake arrives Tia thinks maybe she should just stick to eating cake - because sometimes even she is surprised by the things she says. Tia notices the maid looking at her with a shocked expression - Tia realizes its probably the first time the maids had ever heard a part of their conversation - usually they're standing too far away. Tia looks at Claude and wonders if he's sleepy - *if so he should have just moved tea time to the afternoon*. Tia notices what Claude is drinking and cutely says she wants to try, ("I want to have the same thing Papa has!"). She's surprised at her own forwardness - but hey -it gets boring just eating cake and honey milk every day. It is delicious. Tia: It tastes like flowers are blooming in my mouth! (I don't know how to make that sound cute - but Tia makes it sound cute). The King and Felix are shocked. Felix reveals it's a tea that Diana used to love having and in fact she was the one who introduced the king to it - and when she was alive she would say something very similar. Claude stops Felix saying that he doesn't remember having heard such a thing - and isn't Felix being too noisy today. Tia assumes this is Claude minimizing the relationship he had with Diana. As if to say - who remembers that woman .. unlike Janet's mother whose portrait he still had. Claude comments that Tia is too young to have tea - and that is that. // Felix asks Tia - what are you drawing? Tia replies - stupid Felix - you don't recognize the beautiful Lily? Felix: I think I recognize this person- is it the King? Tia: wrong again - this one I'm giving to you. Felix: is this perhaps.. me? Felix promises to treasure it for life. She hands the other to Lily and starts drawing Claude - then herself. Tia asks Lily - what did my mother look like? Felix and Lily freeze. Tia: I want to draw mommy but I don't know what she looks like - does she have straight hair like Lily or curly? Lily begins to describe Tia's mother - a beautiful blonde, just like Tia. Even the novel had described Diana as bewitching. She must have been beautiful to catch Claude's eye and even have Tia. Tia: I would have liked to have seen her too... Tia noticed the silence that fell upon the room - Tia:*did I just say that out loud?*

I found it on Kakao Pages but it limits you to one new chapter ever 12 hours D:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------From the novel:
Jin-woo uses the knowledge that Kim-chul will attack him out of spite (after waking up from being knocked out), to kill Kim-chul and turn him into a shadow soldier. If it wasn't for Kim chul's ghost, Jin-woo would have lost against the Hyakki. The Hyakki boss reveal an interesting fact - all the monsters in the dungeon have a voice in their head telling them to kill humans - but he doesn't hear this voice when he sees Jin-woo. Jin-woo hypothesizes that it's because he's a new kind of entity - a player. Jin-woo is unable to turn the Hyakki boss into a shadow soldier - most likely because the skill difference between Jin-woo and the boss was too high.

Jin-woo exits the gate. Baek-ho's leader is waiting. Jin-woo finds that he has become much more powerful - even so that he doesn't think a fight with Baek Yoon-ho would be an utter defeat. Basically after hearing the story from the B-rank magician (Heejin?), Baek Yoon-ho realizes that the White Tiger guild owes a debt to Jin-woo and immediately tries to recruit him (but fails)

In america, an odd gate opens. In which there are no monsters, just a human. This human is brought to the hunter association under the suspicion of simply being a monster in disguise. Turns out he is Jin-woo's dad - who got trapped in a gate many years ago - who has returned to save the world from things that are worse than the gates. However, he is unlucky and is interrogated by a US hunter who speaks Korean... the S-rank hunter whose older brother Jin-woo killed. It turns into a fight, the S-rank hunter tells the association that Jin-woo's dad is actually a monster. Jin-woo's dad is so strong, he fights the S-rank hunter, wins, and then disappears.

Jin-woo finishes the remaining C gates that he promised. He returns to the dungeon opened by the blessed box's key. This dungeon consists of levels. As he climbs to the 75th level, he is able to gain the reward from a quest that was offered inside the dungeon. The rewards include a surprise item - a magical treatment that can potentially heal his sick and unconscious mother at the hospital. This is now his highest priority.

Back in the real world, Jin-woo gets re-evaluated for his rank. Surprise, he is now an S-rank! Everyone is interested in recruiting him - including the Hunter association who's chairperson is a formidable S-rank hunter. The chairman doesn't want any of the 5 guilds in Korea to gain superiority over the others. However, Jin-woo says that he doesn't want to work for the association because he wants to fight in dungeons and association employs do not enter high level dungeons. The chairman respects this and decides to help/watch over Jin-woo even though his offer was rejected.

Side notes. Chairman is very ill. He worries that the association won't be able to hold the guilds in check without him. This theme is also apparent when Jin-ho asks his father to be put in charge of the company's hunter guild. His father (who is very wealthy and powerful) reveals he is not interested in the products in the dungeon and cutting out the middle man - he is more interested in creating a group of hunters that are loyal to him to protect him. He foresees the hunters becoming so powerful that no law will be able to keep them in check. Jin-ho reveals that he will be joining Jin-woo's new guild. On another another side note - apparently the ant monsters on Jeju island (the S-rank gate that was never closed), have mutated to form wings and their dead bodies have been washing up on the coast of Japan).

Jin-woo is no longer in hiding and quite a few people have witnessed first hand his current power (Hunter association representatives, Hunter guild (there is another guild named "Hunters") members, White tiger guild members). He shows he can take out a A-rank gate alone. His shadow soldiers now number ~100.

You may ask - why isn't he going to save his mother like he said. Well - he had to wait a couple days for the S-rank to come through. He's using his S-rank to buy supplies so that he can clear the dungeon opened by the blessed box key (the tower gets hotter as the level increases). He wants to clear the dungeon because the materials for the treatment can be found in the dungeon. I'm up to the point where he's about to sell an item at the Hunter Auction, which obviously turns out to be a super rare magic amplification item.

Side note: Baek Yoon-ho has a pretty good suspicion that Jin-woo is unlike any other hunter - and that he can actually increase his rank. He found out by comparing the power he felt from Jin-woo outside the red gate vs. when he met him again, after the S-rank re-evaluation.
